Sirach 35:18-20

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁸ and the Strongest shall not have patience in those (or towards them), that (or till) he trouble the back(s) of them. And he shall yield vengeance to folks, till he take away the fullness of proud men, and trouble (al)together the sceptres of wicked men; [and the strongest shall not have in them patience, that he trouble the rig(s) of them. And to Gentiles he shall yield vengeance, to the time that he take away the plenty of proud men, and the king’s dignities of wicked men he trouble;]

¹⁹ till he yield to men after their deeds, and after the works of Adam^[a], and after the presumption of him; till he deem the doom of his people, and shall delight just [or rightwise] men in his mercy.

²⁰ The mercy of God is fair in the time of tribulation, as clouds of rain in the time of dryness. [Fair is the mercy of God in time of tribulation, as a cloud of rain in time of drought.]
